Does Generator wattage size effect battery charge time?
If I plug a RV shore power cable to a generator and let the onboard converter/distribution panel charge the batteries, is the generator size irrelevant to charge rate/time?

Ok if you have a very small generator the converter will overload it and either trip the breaker or stall the engine
If that does not happen then the converter is in full control of the charge.
As someone said.... Well let me give you experience.
I used a Generac 1000 Rated 1000 watts Traditional generator but fully enclosed. Actually put out close to 1200 watts without talling (had a 10 amp breaker and I'd trip it from time to time when I used it to power an electric chain saw).
Converter was a Progressive 9180+Wizard. That's the largest PD makes
Ran it no problem.
